== Fuel and Waste Characteristics == * '''Thorium consumed''': approximately 1 tonne per 1,000 MW per year of operation * '''Waste volume''': approximately 300 times less than a comparable uranium light water reactor * '''Time to safe radiation levels''': approximately 300 years (versus 100,000+ years for LWR waste) * '''Transuranics produced''': minimal β less than 1% of those produced by uranium reactors * '''Weapons-usable material produced''': negligible β U-233 is contaminated with U-232, making weaponisation extremely difficult
